⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

I have lots of friends in the med school who answered every ? I could possibly ever have so I was extra bored. I felt the session was not as informative/engaging as it could have been for the other interviewees. Duke is such a beautiful/hi-tech/cutting edge/new/bold place and I felt they couped up us interviewees for most of the day in the dank purple zone of Hospital south w/out really showing off the best duke med has to offer.
